Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

"It was Xu Damao. He drugged someone. Captain Liu said he was a spy and asked him to reveal the whereabouts of his accomplices.

But Xu Damao insisted that he was innocent.

On the way, Xiao Hong told Yang Lei roughly what had happened.

"Xu Damao is harming people? Or is he a spy? What's going on?" Yang Lei knew that Xu Damao was not a good person, but no matter how bad this person was, he would not do such a thing.

Saying he is a spy is even more nonsense.

"Let's go and take a look. Don't let Captain Liu really beat the guy to death."

Yang Lei frowned, thinking that Liu Haizhong might want to take the opportunity to take revenge on Xu Damao.

Xu Damao beat him up pretty badly last time.

Liu Hai must still be holding a grudge in his heart.

"Tell me or not? Xu Damao, you are a spy, right? Tell me where your accomplice is. Will you tell me or not?"

As soon as I arrived at the door of workshop 4, I heard Liu Haizhong shouting loudly.

"I... I'm really not a spy..." After a while, Xu Damao's weak voice was heard.

"Not a spy? Then where did you get this injury? Tell me!"

Bangs growled, raising the belt again.

But this time the belt didn't fall and his hand was caught.

Liu Haizhong widened his eyes and wanted to use this opportunity to gain merit, but Xu Damao was still quite stubborn.

Liu Haizhong turned around and found that it was Yang Lei who grabbed his arm.

Liu Haizhong also knew that he was under Yang Lei's supervision.

"Second Uncle, what's going on?"

Yang Lei smiled and let go of Liu Haizhong's arm, pointed at Xu Damao and asked Liu Haizhong what had happened.

"Yang Lei, help! I didn't harm anyone, and I'm not a spy!..."

When Xu Damao saw Yang Lei coming, he quickly asked him for help.

Only then did Yang Lei take a closer look at Xu Damao.

This guy was beaten so badly that even his cotton coat was torn by Liu Haizhong's belt.

Cotton wool was flying all over the sky, and Xu Damao's whole body was covered with white cotton wool, and blood was seeping out of the cotton wool.

Obviously, he was beaten badly by Liu Haizhong.

"Don't worry, Damao, what's going on?"

Yang Lei pointed at Xu Damao who was beaten badly and asked Liu Haizhong.

"Director Yang, Xu Damao poisoned our courtyard's Bang Geng. If he's not a spy, where did the poison come from?"

"Did Xu Damao really poison Bang Geng?"

Yang Lei was also stunned when he heard this, thinking that Banggeng was really harmed by Xu Damao?

When Xu Damao heard Liu Haizhong say that he had poisoned Bang Geng, he immediately cried out in injustice: "Yang Lei, I didn't poison Bang Geng! When I left, that guy was still alive and well, and he teamed up with that unreasonable Jia Zhang to bully me."

Chapter 169 "Da Mao, are you and Jia Zhang breaking up?"

"Da Mao, did you break up with Jia Zhang?"

Yang Lei felt that this matter was strange.

If Xu Damao dared to poison, he would not believe that Xu Damao had such courage.

"Yang Lei, forget it, you go first.

I finished my meal, cleaned up, and went to work. As soon as I entered the backyard, I ran into that kid Bang Geng."

"That kid is pestering me for meat buns. Where can I find them for him?"

Before Xu Damao could finish his words, Liu Haizhong interrupted him coldly: "So you tampered with the meat buns, letting Banggeng eat them and killing him! Tell me who your accomplice is!"

Liu Haizhong was obsessed with making a contribution. Catching a spy was a great achievement these days, and he dreamed of catching one.

Xu Damao has fallen into the trap this time. It would be strange if Liu Haizhong didn't interrogate Xu Damao harshly.

Liu Haizhong insisted on forcing Xu Damao to admit that he was a spy, otherwise he would not give up.

"Liu Haizhong! Who is the spy? You are purely seeking revenge for personal gain!"

When Xu Damao saw Yang Lei coming, he thought Yang Lei would help him, and now he felt confident.

"Xu Damao, do you believe I'm going to send you to the Public Security Bureau right now? Let them interrogate you!"

Liu Haizhong was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He reached out to pull Xu Damao to the Public Security Bureau.

"Second uncle, calm down.

Damao is also a resident of our courtyard. He has lived here for so many years and everyone knows him well.

It's true that he did something wrong in the past, but we need to investigate whether he is a spy or not."

What Yang Lei said made sense, and Liu Haizhong had no choice. He also found that as soon as Yang Lei arrived, everyone in his patrol team listened to him.

This made Liu Haizhong feel very uncomfortable.

Everyone knows that Liu Haizhong is ostensibly the captain of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill's law enforcement patrol team.

He now looked impatient and unconvinced, and Yang Lei saw it all.

“Hehe, it seems that Liu Haizhong has forgotten how he got to this position.

Let's use this as a reminder, otherwise he'll really think he can bully others at will." Yang Lei chuckled. He wasn't interested in power, but he couldn't tolerate Liu Haizhong taking advantage of him and acting like a good boy, or even trying to exclude him.

With Liu Haizhong's attitude, Yang Lei must teach him a lesson.

"Second Uncle, I have already told Chuanfu to prepare a few dishes.

Go to the small private room behind the cafeteria and have a couple of drinks while I go talk to Xu Damao."

Yang Lei smiled and sent Liu Haizhong away.

Although Liu Haizhong was dissatisfied, he did not dare to disobey Yang Lei's wishes, so he had to go to the cafeteria with a gloomy face.

"Yang Lei, you have to believe me, Xu Damao. I really didn't poison anyone! I'm not a spy!" As soon as Liu Haizhong left, Yang Lei asked Deputy Captain Xiao Hong to take Xu Damao down from the iron rack.

As soon as Xu Damao landed, he hugged Yang Lei's thighs and started crying.

"Da Mao, don't worry, let's go back to the courtyard and take a look."

Yang Lei was wondering in his heart, how could such a ruthless character like Banggeng be defeated by Xu Damao?

"Yang Lei, you are really my best friend! I just told that bastard Liu Haizhong to go to the courtyard to see how Banggeng disappeared, but he refused to go." Xu Damao said while wiping his tears.

"Da Mao, don't worry. Xiao Hong, go find a car."

Seeing Xu Damao in this state, Yang Lei knew that he was definitely unable to escape. Liu Haizhong had been too harsh on him.

[Ding, Xu Damao's mood value increased by 9999 points!]

Oh my, I earned nearly 10,000 points of emotion in one go!

Yang Lei was amused. Looking at Xu Damao's thief-like appearance, with his mustache, squinting eyes and long face, he looked quite pleasing to the eye.

"Director Yang Lei, there's no need to borrow my uncle's car, I can just drive you there.

My uncle said that if you need the car, you can take it anytime without telling him."

Xiao Hong also responded with a smile.

Yang Lei was very happy to meet such a reliable person like Xiao Hong. With him, he had many more options in the factory.

After a while, Xiao Hong came driving a small Jiefang truck.

This car is small and can just squeeze into Nanluoguxiang, but large trucks cannot enter.

Without Yang Lei's instructions, two young men came over, lifted Xu Damao up, and stuffed him into the small Jiefang.

The two guys didn't let Xu Damao sit in the driver's seat and threw him directly into the car.

Yang Lei also followed him into the carriage.

Xiao Hong drove the car, and Yang Lei naturally sat in the driver's seat.

The Red Star Steel Mill is very close to the courtyard houses in Nanluoguxiang, a 20-minute walk or a 5-6 minute bike ride away.

Driving is faster and you’ll be there in the blink of an eye.

"squeak--"

The little Jiefang stopped steadily at the gate of the courtyard.

"Yang Lei, why did you drive back today?"

Yan Bugui was stunned when he saw the small truck.

But when he saw that it was Yang Lei coming down, he immediately went to greet him.

"Uncle, I'm here to send Xu Damao home.

By the way, is there anything going on in our courtyard?"

Yang Lei felt something was wrong.

The courtyard looked as peaceful as usual.

The front yard guard Yan Bugui was still busy: watering the flowers and watching the people coming in and out.

Whenever someone bought groceries or brought something back, he would look for an opportunity to make some money.

"Big deal? What big deal could happen in our courtyard? Yang Lei, your new house will be ready soon, right? Can you let us live in your current house when the time comes? Our living conditions are really too poor.

Alas! After Xie Cheng got married, he and Yu Li still lived separately. What kind of couple are they?

Yan Bugui started to set his sights on Yang Lei's house again.

Yang Lei was also thinking about Yu Li. If she had always lived in Qichixiang Hutong and had no contact with the Yan family, then the Yan family probably wouldn't care if she gave birth to a child.

Yan Bugui's words reminded Yang Lei.

Yang Lei smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't have the final say on this matter.

This house will have to be handed over to the street office in due time.

However, considering your family's situation, it might be difficult to apply again. Why not have your daughter-in-law Yu Li go to the street office and apply?"

Nowadays, women are really powerful and can hold up half the sky. This is absolutely true.

Although Yan Bugui was reluctant in his heart, he also felt that Yang Lei's idea was quite reliable.

He thought that since Yu Li had entered the Yan family, she was a member of the Yan family.

If you apply for a house in her name, won’t it still belong to the Yan family in the end?

Yang Lei knew clearly that there was nothing wrong with Yan Bugui's idea.

But in a few years, with the wind of reform and opening up, those courtyard houses that originally only had the right of residence but not ownership will sooner or later become the residents' own.

He couldn't let the Yan family get the upper hand. After all, it was Yu Li who applied for the house, and after the reform, the property rights belonged to Yu Li.

This is what he really cares about.

"Yang Lei, you are really quick-witted. I will ask Yu Li to apply right away!" Yan Bugui was a shrewd and calculating man. He wanted to send Yang Lei away immediately so that his son Jie Cheng and daughter-in-law Yu Li could move in.

Yang Lei understood Yan Bugui's character and just smiled.

Watching Yan Bugui walk away, he smiled lightly: "Third Uncle, if your wishful thinking is wrong, don't end up with nothing.

You are so smart, you should understand what I mean, right? "

"Yang Lei, don't blame me, Xu Damao, for Bang Geng's death! I really didn't hurt him. It was the old woman Jia Zhang who bit me. Look, I even have several stitches on my hand!" Xu Damao was covered in wounds, and the wound on his hand seemed less important.

He himself didn't even know where it hurt the most. He was so unlucky.

"Da Mao, if you did it, you have to admit it. If you didn't do it, no one can wrongly accuse you.

Don't be afraid, let's go to the backyard and talk." Yang Lei patted his shoulder. Xu Damao cried out in pain, but still forced a smile.

Xu Damao knew that the only one who could help him at this time was Yang Lei.
